Total Delay

Famous quotes containing the words total and/or delay:

“Luxury, or a refinement on the pleasures and conveniences of life, had long been supposed the source of every corruption in government, and the immediate cause of faction, sedition, civil wars, and the total loss of liberty. It was, therefore, universally regarded as a vice, and was an object of declamation to all satyrists, and severe moralists.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)

“Face troubles from their birth, for ‘tis too late to cure
When long delay has given the evil strength.
Haste then; postpone not to the coming hour: tomorrow
He’ll be less ready who’s not ready now.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
